as much as we would like to blame mitch mcconnell and john boehner, it's out of mcconnell's hand. john boehner is the one standing in the way of putting that tax cut for the 98% up for a vote. why? because he is protecting his -- the only people he cares about is the top 1 or 2%. i will get back to your calls but one more question. bill kristol was on fox news yesterday and he is telling you, the republican party, do you realize what you look like under boehner's leadership? >> at the end of the day president obama is selling a simple message. i want to keep taxes low for the middle class americans and republicans look like -- i am worried, they are in the position of looking as if they don't care about the middle class and want to keep tax rates low for wealthy americans. >> it is all john boehner's fault. i wish president obama would stand up and not just talk about this in an abstract way and say hey, i am here for 98% of americans. i want to give you a continued tax cut january 1st. john boehner, john boehner is the only guy standing in the way. put the pressure on. just like

>> it's reported that mitch mcconnell, senate minority leader, burst out laughing when he heard it. it's not even worthy of a laugh. it's really sad, it's pathetic. we went from a reasonable theoretical $3 in cuts for $1 in revenue which was basically the simpson-bowles, and are now at $4 of real and immediate tax increases plus new spending for in the future unspecified, uncertain cuts to we don't know what. how could anyone take that seriously? i don't even -- i thought we were doing a kabuki dance. this is not a kabuki dance. i don't even know what this is. it's worse than laughable. it's embarrassing. this president won this election, he's supposed to be leading, and he's doing anything but. it's really sad, wolf. it's really sad. >> let me bring cornel into this conversation. cornel, republicans are saying that the savings the president is proposing here would be entirely wiped out by his extension of some expensive policies, emergency unemployment benefits, for example, payroll tax holiday that's now set to expire at the end of the year. are these savings just a bluff from the

when geithner presented his plan to mcconnell, mcconnell says he burst out laughing and boehner you'll hear at the top of the hour, one of the words he uses is flabbergasted. what they were shocked at not that the president was going to call for more tax increases, he campaigned on that, but he came in with such a small set of spending cuts, about 600 billion dollars total in entitlement cuts and spending cuts and also had a demand that congress would give up any say from now on forever in raising the debt limit, which of course has always been a tool of congress, both democrats and republicans have used to oppose the president's policies or to demand if you're going to raise the debt limit increase spending cuts as well. boehner said there's absolutely a nonstarter. they're in a stalemate and nowhere and i guess the question is, with 30 days left is this a negotiating ploy, an enough opening negotiating position from the president or indicate that they're really far apart and we could go over the cliff. >> we could have really just two weeks before they're done. the recess is december

on august 22, russia is now required by its membership in the w.t.o. to lower tariffs and to open up to new imports. that sudden jump in market access is, frankly, important to any country that is the first country through the door. and if we don't pass this trade legislation, we will not be among those countries. i can tell you that massachusetts, speaking for my state, welcomes access to the russian market. and we want that access to be played out on a level playing field. the state of massachusetts exported $120 million worth of goods to russia last year, and those exports obviously support hundreds of jobs. but if we don't pass this bill, those exports will face competition from other countries that will not pay the same high-level tariff that we currently pay. so just take one specific example. massachusetts exported $18.5 million in medical equipment to russia in 2011, but we face strong competition from china, which increased its share of the russian market in each of the last ten years. mr. president, we don't shy away from strong competition,

mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the republican leader. mr. mcconnell: throughout the week i've raised questions about the president's level of seriousness and engagement when it comes to resolving the short- and long-term fiscal challenges that we face. i've done this because, as i've said repeatedly, the president is the key to success in all of these discussions. so i'm hoping that when secretary geithner comes up to the capitol today, he brings a specifics plan from the president that the two parties could agree to for the good of the country. i hope to hear the administration's specific plans for protecting jobs and promoting economic growth for middle-class americans while reducing the debt by strengthening entitlements, reducing washington spending, and preventing a tax hike on every american taxpayer. up until now the white house has preferred talkingpoints and an appeal to the hard left to a serious discussion about how we fix the economy, reduce the federal debt, and return the country to a path of growth and prosperity for all. they
